âWe all have inner demons to fight.
We call these demons fear, hatred and anger.
If you donât conquer them, then a life of 100 years is a tragedy.
But if you do, a life of a single day can be a triumph!â
---- Bruce Lee
The first step to getting anywhere
Is deciding youâre not willing
To stay where you are. unknown
What does not kill you makes you stronger - Its a bit of a clichĂ© but it really resonates with meâŠ
âThere is overwhelming evidence that the higher the level of self-esteem, the more likely one will treat others with respect, kindness, and generousity. People who do not experience self-love have little or no capacity to love others.â
We cannot hang onto feelings of shame and guilt and still hope to become better people. How did these feelings begin? If we were treated badly by people, we need to be honest about what happened so we can resolve it and move on. Have we perpetuated our feelings by acting disrespectfully ourselves? Then we need to take a thorough inventory of our wrongdoings, admit them, make repairs, and let them go.
We may wallow in shame because facing it seems too frightening. Often, we believe our shame is greater than that of others. This belief is usually untrue and grandiose. Itâs part of how we isolate ourselves. We donât have to face it alone. We have the help of other men and women who can listen to our pain and tell us about their experiences.
âToday, may I find the courage to face my shame and assert my right to self-esteem.â
A nerdy one for you. Picard at his best.
